(one upload of Monkey Island is 1.5 GB which I can't even bother to wait through, the other one is EGA and 1.6 MB and contains a cracked copy protection screen, this one is VGA and 3.1 MB)
Deep in the Caribbean lies Melee Island, ruled by the governor Elaine Marley. The cruel pirate LeChuck is deeply in love with her - so deeply that he refuses to accept his own death. As a ghost, he dwells with his undead crew somewhere near the mysterious Monkey Island. Meanwhile, a young fellow named Guybrush Threepwood is determined to become a real pirate. At the Scumm Bar he meets three pirates who tell him he has to complete three difficult tasks in order to be worthy of this title. But as Guybrush is trying to complete these tasks, he encounters the lovely governor, and this meeting changes his life forever. Risking to incur the wrath of LeChuck, Guybrush has to prove his wit is as sharp as his sword, and figure out a way to foil the ghost pirate's plans.The Secret of Monkey Island is an adventure game that utilizes the command verb-based SCUMM interface first introduced in Maniac Mansion: the player constructs commands for Guybrush by selecting an appropriate verb and then combining it with an object or an inventory item. Objects that can be interacted with are highlighted when the player places a cursor over them. The game is the first LucasArts adventure in which it is impossible to get irrevocably stuck; like in Loom, the player character also cannot die. The branching dialogue system, where the player chooses between several available responses during conversations, allows the player to talk to characters in different ways without fearing a wrong choice, and is often used as a humorous device.
The puzzles are predominantly inventory-based; most of the problems in the game are solved by picking up items and combining them with each other or with objects (or people) in the game world. Several tasks are dialogue-based; among those is the humorous "insult swordfighting", which involves Guybrush learning and choosing witty insults while dueling pirates.
The CD DOS and FM Towns versions of the game have slightly updated interface (with graphically represented inventory items instead of the text-only labels in the original version), as well as CD audio music tracks.

The only problem I'm running into is that I accidentally minimized the text speed and now I have no idea how to get it back up. If someone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Works on VirtualBox! Audio is broken but that's a VirtualBox problem, not this software's fault.

If you alt tab out of the game from full (or maybe exit full screen) it can freeze the game requiring a hard internet browser restart. You will loose your progress unless you saved at some point. to save the game press F5 and make a name then press ok/save. to load the game you have to watch the intro then press F5 then click load to load your desired file.

I was fully prepared to pay up money to play the original 1990 DOS version, but it was surprisingly hard to find the original Secret of Monkey Island game that wasn't the 2009 remake. I'm very pleasantly surprised I was able to play the original DOS version right through my browser on the Internet Archive!
The game runs nice and smooth, and to my surprise you can even save and load your save files, even if you close your browser! For anyone who might be wondering how to save: press the F5 button (in my case, I had to press the windows button + F5 to pull up the save screen). I was able to restart the computer and still access my save file from the browser, though you do have to sit through the unskippable opening.
